Barcelona predicted lineup:

BARCELONA (4-3-3) : Ter Stegen; Semedo, Pique, Lenglet, Alba; Busquets, Arthur, Rakitc; Malcom/Coutinho, Suárez, Coutinho/Dembele.

Other than Messi, is that a full strength Barca team? It’s been a while since I’ve watched them.

Yeah, this team starts most of their matches, I think Malcom wont start for sure, and its Coutinho Dembele and Suarez upfront.

They're also missing Umtiti who usually starts next to Pique.

I dont think you can say a starter for the World Champion and Barca is shit, esspecially when they had other quality options, than 99% of fullbacks are shit.

Currently Pique and Lenglet are heavily criticized by the fans, they certainly are less reliable than our magical duo. I am really confident that Icardi will have 2-3 very good chances, it's all about conversion, their defence line is very shaky.

I think its just the thing about Barca, when people said Barca wont be Barca with Messi-Iniesta-Xavi forever, now 2 of them gone, it makes them not so mighty and powerfull as they once were, having all 3 of them gone I take them as a normal team, with 3 of them there, they were one of the best teams of all time.

Problem is their fans have high expectations, but you just cant buy or magically find Xavi, Iniesta or Messi, those players just come once in 100 years. Barca will still be good because of the foundation they left, but will never be as dominant as they were with them.

So, Vida plays for Barca and World Champions ? Or are you trying to compare Umtiti and Vida as players ? :S

You also said that he had a shaky world cup while his team conseded six goals five of those six in 2 games, being none of those his fault, I didnt say playing that finals, he is an irreplacable starter for Barca and France two arguably best teams in the world, one in club football, second in national football, and you are comparing him to Vida, who is in his prime and one (or two) level behind in the sides he plays for and the quality of football he plays individually, cant compare those 2 sorry, and cant say Umtiti is bad or anything, cause he is in top 15 CBs in the world at this moment.

You were wrong not the end of the world.

Dont put words into my mouth.

What I said:''Umtiti is a top 15 CB, playing for Barca and France in the starting lineup and being irreplacable cant make you shit''

What you said:''Umtiti is shit (for whatever reason you didnt name), he is on Vida level(utterly wrong), he had a shaky WC(again, utterly wrong)

Told you, you are a good poster, altough its kinda childish of you to argue in such a way, but thats fine.

I heard Pinto is the greatest goalkeeper after Valdes. But heey, just something I've heard.

Does Barca defense really matter if we decide to park a bus completely? :pokerface:

Play with Barca is like playing with double-edge sword. If we play attacking mode, we could take advantage of their leaking defense, but suffer big chance of being humiliated. If we play defensive mode, well, their leaky defense wouldn’t be exposed.

barca has the worst CB duo i have seen ( for them ). my argument is based on my observation witch might be wrong, but im not the only one with that conclusion as you are not the only one with your.. the best thing for me to please you would be to either forghet about umtiti and this conversation or to post videos where i think he was shaky at WC and barca, but since i have no will to do that i will just shut the fuck up

Umtiti is barely a top 15 center back in La Liga.

The problem is getting to Barca's defence, not if they're not good enough. Despite not having great defenders, you barely get chances against them. This is a team that had Valdes as their goalie in major triumphs. Victor fucking Valdes.
